Level 3 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)

Flow & Momentum

When everything feels right, leaders and followers feel comfortable playing off each other by directing and redirecting energy and momentum. In this class, we will help you explore this flow and share a few ways to incorporate it into your dancing.

Pre-requisites: At least nine consecutive months of Level 1 and Level 2 including one full year of social dance, or discuss your eligibility with instructors. Under-qualified students will be asked to transfer to Level 2 in order to strengthen their fundamentals.

π PIE

Geeks of Lindy Hop, rejoice! As it is 3.14, and it is a Wednesday, and we will celebrate! For the hardcore π lovers, we'll have a game to test who's the most hardcore, and can remember the most digits of π... with a twist! Should we mention that the winner will get a silly prize?

BALBOA ROOM

It's second month of Elective Balboa at WNH! Which means that in our Balboa Room there will be new excited and enthusiastic balboa dancers to meet, to dance with, and to geek out about shuffles and come-arounds.
